been held, in general, as the
greatest evil done to the students,
has, on the whole, triumphed over
all its critics. Those who have
been most strenuous in their objec-
tions, including The Daily, have
differed with the plan only in de-
gree, never in principle. Less and
less .comment has been caused by
the ban, and the increasing num-
ber of universities in all parts of
the country who have placed limi-
tations upon the use of motor
vehicles bears forceful testimony
to the vision of President Little.
The University College has drawn
the attention of the whole country
as one of the most important ixi-
novations in educational circles in
years. The only criticism that has
been directed at the plan has come
from within the University itself,
where scholastic stand-patters :re-
belled at changing educational sys-
tems which had been tested by time.
One of the biggest criticisms of the
proposal was that it would tend to
break down the system of caste and
preference which had been built up
in the University faculty, and
would allow new "upstarts" to usurp
the positions of men who had been
steeped in the Michigan educational
system for years and years without
progress. They preferred to re-
tain their stolid middle Western
smugness rather than to let one
new idea steal into their private
territory. When the history of
education in this decade is finally
written for posterity President
Little and the University College
will assume an important place.
But whether or not Michigan
figures in the movement remains
to the decision of those who have
caused the exit of a great man.

Play Production's arena of activi-
ties is what this drama-weary col-
uinnist is constantly being remind-
ed that he asked for--an entirely
student operated laboratory the-
ater. The temptation comes to
wish the devil had flown away
with the idea before it had ever
been uttered; the realization is
dawning that a student conducted
production is no more a bed o
roses than the most ticklish pro-
fessional show, and that without
even the compensation of a weekly
pay check. But however, infernal
the bedlam of University hall lab-
oratory theater the devil is not in
it. It is merely the inevitable grief
that a producer has to experience
before rounding his show into
shape. Hitherto the capable should-
ers of Mr. Windt have assumed the
burden. No, as a result of the Play
Contest, an entirely student direct-
ed series of production is under way
with varying degrees of unprofes-- I
sional confusion. But Dyonisius,
in all his bacchic choler over in-
experience, cannot despise the ef-
forts of the group.
Within recent memory these ac-
tivities have never been paralleled
on such an important scale. Even
if nothing more comes of all the
bustle than a realization of theI
multifarious complications of pro-
ducing a show it would seem to be
worth while to those who feel that
the drama is a growing thing with
each generation. Critics may argue
that nothing new is being attempt-
ed. Nor is any thing being tried
